Kendal schools get safer classrooms for new term after Hurricane Melissa

MANCHESTER, Jamaica — For teachers and students at two schools in Kendal, the new school term began with more than the usual back-to-school excitement — they returned to safer classrooms.

Just days before the September term, the JN Circle Mandeville, through funding from the JN Foundation, restored sections of the roof at Kendal Primary and Infant School and repaired the roof and ceiling at Kendal Shiloh Early Childhood Institution (ECI).

A release from the JN Foundation said works were funded through the JN Group’s I Support Jamaica Hurricane Relief Fund, part of the foundation’s ongoing commitment to helping communities recover and build resilience after Hurricane Melissa.
